I got gas today at BP and paid $4.34 for premium. Premium was $4.49 ($1.00 higher than regular) less $.15/gal. with rewards card. BP is no longer Top Tier after being TT for a while.

For what's it worth, BP is still using the same formula they did when they were TT. They just decided to go back to their prior status and not pay the dues.

But this is EV Chat. It costs the same for regular and premium AC in IL.

I've grown to really like how it looks, the interior puts the new S Class to shame too

The other reality is, if you want the EV powertrain and the incredible driving experience it provides, then the W223 doesn't offer that.

The real seller for this car is the quality and the driving experience. It’s just the best driving car I have ever driven, period. The interior also just blows away anything else in the segment. The styling has grown on me a lot, I have a couple of specs that I would choose, a non M Sport in Oxide Grey or an M Sport in Carbon black without the shadow line trim package. It looks much better in person and video than in pictures IMO.

If you love a great riding quiet car like I do, it’s hard not to want this car.
This is awesome, thank you!
